house hy Rev. Fitzwater ON Sunday
last with quite good attendance.
Mr.. Burtensliaw is giving his resi-
dence new coat Of paint, both in and

the appearance of his place.
Farmers are all busy putting in their
crops with anticipation of a good return
i'm harvest, when they shall reap the
golden grain. Therefore they are
happy.
Almost every year there are large
crops of flax raised i'm this vicinity for
the Salem oil mills, the company fur
nishing the seed and then taking all
the crop at from 81 % TO 81 80 per bushel
which pays quite well here. ~ the land
is well suited to flax culture, some
places producing 15 or % bushels per
acre. This year the company have
shut down for repairs and are not let
ting seed out, so the farmers will have
TO go back again to the old standard
wheat.
Game is plentiful and the hoot of the
grouse is responded TO by the drum of
the pheasant. The Chinese pheasants
have become so very numerous that
the farmers are complaining of them
destroying not only their grain but
gardens also. One farmer asserts that
they utterly destroy his garden and
that he has seen as many as six or
eight of these pests in his garden at one
time, and within a stones cast of his
house. 1t is plain they are a curse to
the farmer and should he protected no
longer So the Chinaman was about
right when he said ''bye-and-bye Mel
lean man no likee." 1t is said that the
meat of the old birds is very tough and
unfit for food. KIT.

Everything is quiet on the Potomac.
The regular mail carrier made his
trip to Sodaville Saturday.
Mrs. Woodiu, who has been sick for
some time past, is getting better.
George Sylvester has a very fine
four-year-old colt which he wishes to
sell at bargain.
Grass is growing finely and stock are
gaining nicely, bnt w. o. has an eye
TO business as we see he is figuring
around after hay. We noticed him as
he was mauling rails i'm the slash, cast
a wistful glance over towards the school
house. A great place to look for hay.
We should smile.
The young folks of this place propos-
ed TO have a SURPRISE dance at a certain
place, on the 22d, but failed. They
were bound to have dance, so they
went to Sam's. The party consisted of
seyea boys and four pirls. and they
danced till three O'Clock IN the morn
ing; we suppose they had way up
time.
q. Sylvester has discovered coal in the
land slide, which occurred on his place
last winter. He took out about two
bushels the first heat, but as his pick
got very dull he could not dig any far
ther. So he filled sack with coal and
threw it across one shoulder and his
pick on the other and YOU ought to
have seen his coat tail pop through the
hazel brush as he took rapid strides in
a bee-line towards Sam Hawkins black
smith shop, where he arrived nearly
out of breath and threw the sack of
coal into the furnace; and Sam applied
his muscle to the bellows and such Il
fire you have never seen before. Sam
said it beat any fire he had seen since
Adam was a calf did not learn what
it was that made the fire-whether it
was the sack or the coal, but all the
same George saws he is going to town
to get seven or eight yards of big pow
der and few dozen drills and some
sledge hammers, and he is going to
knock the tstuffIn out of it," so if any
of you Lebanon folks hear something
drop, just go on as though nothing had
happened, for it Will only be few
rocks blown out of Georges coal mine.

A Rare Curiosity.

Among the attractions at Silverton
on Tuesday last, was a wee little Chi
naman-just one month old. 1t was
indeed curiosity. We overheard a
lot of excursionists discussing its merits
and wondering why its daddy" did
not put the sign ''musuenl" over the
door and charge an admittance fee of
five cents, and make the thing finan-
cially interesting. One of them said
it was the funniest thing she had ever
seen. Another declared it had no ears,
and another was surprised te see its
mother take pains to keep it from cry
ing, ETC., etc, while another indignant
ly remarked if that was the kind of
things the Cinnamon were introducing
into this country, the sooner they We're
were made to 'tgo' the better.

ED. EXRPEss:-We have commenc-
ed the fight on the prohibition amend
ment, as our old resident, Joab, used TO
say sin the Forks and from now un-
til November next we intend TO keep
the matter agitated and hope by that
time that every elector shall have well
considered the simple proposition-Is
spirituous or malt liquors, when used as
a beverage, a benefit TO society.
A prohibition league was organized
at this place with the following officers:
J. L. Miller. president; +. J. Villa, sec
retary; r.. Pentland, treasurer; twenty
five members signed the roll, ana sew
eral others expressed themselves in
favor of the amendment.
We had a rousing meeting April Is,
1857, at l o'clock P. NJ Quite num-
Der spoke and more earnest set of
voters could not have been collected in
any place. We were assisted by quite
a number from Mount Pleasant and
each contributed his mite by way of
argument and influence. Among the
speakers were Rev. Mr.. Woolcy, Ben.
III. Irwin, Mr.. Parker, j. G. johnson
and a number of others.
In the evening a meeting was held
under the auspices of the w. &. I. U.
The church was crowded. Rev. Woody
delivered lengthy address which was
full of sound reasoning, and the subject
was handled in a fair and impartial
manner. Several members of the
league made five and ten minute
speeches. The audience was favored
with several prohibition songs by the
Scio glee club, and last, but not least,
were the songs and speeches by the lit
tie folks, which were very entertaining,
and we hone tha fraininO may Continue

Sailing a Mine.

It is currently rumored that a gravel
mine has been "salted" in Southern
Oregon and sold for $50, 900 or $780,
600 to "moccasin" who had been bait
ed for that purpose. Rumor connects
the name of an ex-proprietor of the st.
Charles with the fraud, and it is SAID
that the Jackson county grand jury
are looking into the matter. The modus
operandi was to buy $3.50 of gold from
various adjacent mines and salt the
worthless gravel mine till it had the
appearance of being very rich. Then
the eX-hotel man and his victim with
some companions go up on the train
and with hilarious champagne fix the
business. The victim is said to have
paid large sum of cash and to have
decided land for the balance which the
ex-hotel keeper has sold for $4,000.
The victim is endeavoring TO get back
some of his property, and to get the
swindler indicted Democrat

EXCURSION to sllverton.


As per announcement by the MEM
bers or the Brownsville and Coburg
lodges /. o. o. F., on Tuesday morning
last the regular train left Brownsville
with seven cars all loaded with people
in the happy anticipation of pleasant
days picnicking at Silvertdn As is
generally the case this time of the year,
the heavy atmosphere in the morning
indicated anything but a pleasant day,
but towards noon the clouds broke
away and the ride was pleasant one.
and Interesting to quitea number who,
Tor the first time, became acquainted
with the many points of interest ON the
way.
AT Silverton the party, numbering
about 400, was met by Silver Lodge
No. p headed by the Silverton Silver
Cornet band, of that place, which
escorted the procession, numbering
probably 1000 people, to their hall,
where, for few moments. hnndshak,
ing and social brotherly greeting was
indulged in
On this occasion, as on all others,
where good things TO eat are part of
the programme, the ladies of Browns
Vile and other places showed they
Were masters ofthe situation. One de-
partment of the baggage car was allot-
ted to baskets, filled TO over-fiowing
with dainty and substantial odibles,
which would have been more highly
enjoyed in the beautiful grove-as was
anticipated-than at the table beneath
the Odd Fellows hall; but shower,
just Mt noon, unfortunately changed the
contemplated picnic into dinner.
After dinner the procession was again
formed, and to the music of the band,
marched over the crystal waters of Sill
Yer creek to the church where the ora
tion by Judge j. j. Walton, of Salem,
and other exercises were had, which
Were impressive and entertaining.
This, so far as the anniversary exer-
cises We're concerned, completed the
programme, and the excursionists, for
short time, s'took in the town." visit
ing the several places of interest There
ere some very pleasant looking resi-
dences in Silverton. 1t is an old town
and bears the resemblance of having
seen better days.
We would net forget to say that the
management of the excursion, on the
part of the railway officials, was in
every respect satisfactory. The train
to Silverton was in charge of Conduct
or Poorman with Engineer Franzen,
and was on time at all the stations. On
the return, G. n. Bennett was in charge
of the train and everything was very
agreeable with nothing to mar our
pleasure but one or two of those fellows
who imagine they ''can't' have a good
time without insulting ladies and gen
tlemen. We are glad to say these par
ties referred to, did not hail from
Brownsville or Coburg. Neither are
they of the respectable people of Scio.
